Despite being a past follower of this little saying, I quickly realised how absolutely wrong it is. A different number in the date can't mean you're a completely different person, can it? Truth is, a lot of people say it because they want to get out of the habits of the last year. For example, I NEED to stop biting my nails in 2016 - a resolution I've made for far too many new years.
Does that mean I need to make a 'new me'? No it doesn't!
You're perfectly great, you don't need a new you! Don't let the pressures of being better in 2016 make you believe that who you are isn't good enough - you're you, that's all you can be! Sure, improve old habits. Change things you don't like about yourself.
Try your absolute best at things you wish you did in 2015 - But don't forget to embrace who you are and don't be ashamed!
